How to not let naracissist mean teasing about my self interests get to me?

[Ocean147]

Hey everyone I have a question. I love being a geek but I have two relative naracissists that like to cut me down. Mainly, make fun of my interests, what makes me, me. How do I continue my geek pursuits without feeling their shame get to me?

The cool thing is, it seems like my geeky side is getting amplified whenever they are not around to tease me about it.

Outcast make their own path and narrasists love that easier to make fun. You love being a geek. Than be who you love being. Don't be someone else just because someone else says that's what you should be. You love to be a geek be a geek.
Three ways to deal with a narrasists. Agree with them and take the fun out of confrontation with you. You could try to Totally avoid them. Or kick their ass. Whatever you choose don't let someone tell you being a geek is lame. Where would movies and video games come from without geeks?

I think you answered your question. You love being a geek. Than be who you love being. Don't do something just because someone else loves it. Do it because you love it.

You're absolutely right. I don't need anyone's validation to live a life I love.
